Just over a year ago, Michael Moore vigorously campaigned for President Obama and the Democratic Party. But watching them jettison the public option from health care legislation appears to have been the final straw.

“These Democrats are a bunch of wusses,” Moore told Raw Story in a hard-edged interview Wednesday. “They don’t have the courage of their convictions. They won’t stand and fight.”

Remember Micheal, you’ll always have Cuba.

Can Blind Man Paterson see the end coming:

New York (CNN[2])– New York’s Commission on Public Integrity is charging Gov. David Paterson with an ethics violation for accepting free tickets to last year’s World Series, a commission spokesman said Wednesday.

Scientists who have studied the remarkable lives of dolphins have found themselves in a bit of an ethical quagmire.

There seems to be little doubt now that dolphins are surprisingly intelligent, know who they are as individuals, and engage in cultural traditions that can be passed on to succeeding generations. In short, they are a lot like humans.
